Job Title: Senior Optical Sensing Engineer

ASML is seeking a highly skilled Senior Optical Sensing Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for the development of metrology subsystems that measure and control the production of light in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source for next generation photolithography tools.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design, develop, and integrate metrology subsystems using optical and electronic measurement techniques.
  • Provide specifications and technical guidance to the team of design engineers throughout the product development cycle.
  • Lead the development and integration of innovative metrology system solutions to enable stable and efficient production of EUV for both research and product development.
  • Coordinate or execute the testing process and design verification in lab test bench and cleanroom fabrication environment.
  • Develop specifications for light emitting or light sensing opto-electronic modules in accordance with system requirements and cross-functional requirements.
  • Investigate the feasibility of applying scientific and mathematical design principles and concepts to potential inventions and products.
  • Plan and execute laboratory research pertaining to metrology design and validation in lab and cleanroom fabrication environment.
  • Work with a cross-functional team to support the development, manufacturing, and integration of innovative core technologies into engineering solutions.
  • Communicate status reports, issues, and next steps across various functional disciplines.
  • Apply broad knowledge in optics, sensors, electronics, algorithms, software, and data analysis tools to drive metrology system improvements to enable continuously increased EUV power and system availability.
  • Lead and perform integration activities including troubleshooting the control system, developing and executing test plans, to ensure the system functions as designed in the EUV light source.
  • Lead the design and building of tools that allow debugging, analysis, and performance evaluation of metrology system performance. Leads the root cause analysis for metrology system failures during escalations in products for integration and research.
